Socialistic: See? See what I mean?

25Apr10

Came home from grocery shopping a few minutes ago.  Tivo recorded something and left the channel on DayStar, a Christian channel from the looks of things. The Coral Ridge Hour (Dr. D.

17Apr09

I have something to say. First, night after night of teabagging innuendo?  Come on.  One night, great.  Three nights?  Four nights?  A week (or weak)?  Not so much.  Hopefully, though, the point’s been made especially since there was an article on the Fox News website about other news channels innuendo humor.  What can you do, [...]

Are you confused by all this economy stuff? I am, pretty much. I mean, I get portions of it. Subprime this, credit crisis that. But nothing connected the dots until I listened to two episodes of This American Life.

Rant >:-(

09Oct08

[sigh of exasperation] heels, gloves, my friends [mumble] I used to respect John McCain.  Up until around 2004 – 2006.  He changed. IN THE YEAR 2000, JOHN MCCAIN SAID… “Uh, I, I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these negative attack ads. Sooner or later, people [...]

VP Debate Night

02Oct08

Sheila blogged a response to my last entry, Sarah Palin & the GOP.  Much appreciated.  It’s nice to have a little back and forth.  Keeps me honest. Does Joe Biden look tired? There were a few things mentioned that caused a few neurons to fire.  You know, when you read something and think, “Oh wait.  [...]

There are many ways to make a difference. Maybe protesting and rallies are yours. Go for it. You rock. But recognize that not all change is a radical, revolutionary upheaval. Change also happens within the system, pendulous though it may be.

You know what I think is funny? I’m writing this like people are reading it. A little ego involved, maybe? But then again, this is the internets. Heck, even the President himself could Google “Palin McCain Obama Iced Tea personals bachelor” and stumble across this. Okay. Let’s get to it. I’m all in a tizzy [...]
